Student Grievance Procedures
Science & Arts desires to resolve student concerns and/or complaints in an expeditious and constructive manner through open dialogue and honest communication. The paramount function of these procedures is to determine whether an institutional error or an injustice has occurred and if so, what constitutes an appropriate redress for the grievance.
Although the confidentiality of the information received and the privacy of the individuals involved cannot be guaranteed, they will be protected to as great an extent as is legally possible. The expressed wishes of the complainant regarding confidentiality will be considered in the context of the University’s legal obligation to act upon the charge and the right of the charged party to be informed concerning the charge.
All grievances will be promptly, thoroughly, and impartially investigated and decided within reasonable time frames at each stage of the grievance process.
